of Ferry Paoeengera UrawMd,
Jfgw York, July 11. The sloopyacht
Mystery left Ruflle bar last evening,
loded almost to her gunwale with
men, women and children. When off
Barren Wand, en route for Canareie, the
yacht capsized, and only birteen of the
lorty souls composing her passengers and
crew are known4o have been rescued.
Tbe party was made up chiefly of Ger
man families resident in Brooklyn and
Long. Island City. When the passengers
of the Mystery and Chri.tina gathered
on the pier to embark for Canande, so
many men of the partv showed the effects
of tbe beer that they had drank that the
skippers thought beet to put the women
and children aboard the Mystery, which
rates as a much safer boat than her con
sort. The women protested, but their
protest was unheeded. Capt. Hendrick
on, of tbe Mystery, said he was going
to get to Canareie first or blow a stick oil.
Reef knots were unfastened and a boom
dropped just as a squall of considerable
violence struck the sail. In a second she
was on beam ends, and all the jeople
were strolling in a choppy sea. Fully
half the drowned people were children.
A negro in a row boat put out from the
shore, and succeeded in saving seven
lives, and a tug which was in the vicin
ity saved six.

WAsnixoTox, July 12. The depart
ment of state is still in official ignorance
of the revolution in 1 la wait. First Assis
tant Secretary Porter said to-day that the
department diil not expect to hear any
thing for four or five days yet ; not nntil
the dispatches which Minister Merrill
had sent on the Mariposa shall hare been
sent overland from fan Francisco and re
ceived in Washington.
One of the prominent officer of the de
partment was asked how ranch force the
United States had in the Pacific at pres
ent. "We haven't mv," was the reply ;
"at least none to speak of. The Pacific
t madron with the exception of the Alert,
are wooden sloops and carry from six to
eight smooth-bore guns, worth as much
as a boy's popgun when compared with
modern artillery. The Alert U an old
vessel of 600 tons and carries four guns.
If the fleet were to be mobilised it would
t -a aliout ten years, I guess, if it ever
.1.1 be done. "The Adams has been at
licaolulu since June 14th, tbe Vandal is
' trebly half way between Callas and
Hawaii, the Juniata is in Central Ameri
t i waters bound to China via Sandwich
i ' nils, the Mohican is on tbe west coast
( i 1 xuh America, probably near Peru,
t- 3 Iroq-jola la at San Francisco being re
I Jszi and the Alert mmt be somewhere
Bear the Mohican. - The complement of
officers and men carried by the Pacific
fleet it aboot 1300 officers and men.
VThe force that England has in Pacific
waters could be rapidly concentrated.
All Teasels are in good condition, boilt af
ter the latest models and carry rifled can
non of large calibre and, not old smooth
bores like we have. Bat I don't think
we need fear any danger from England,
as I have always understood that a per
fect understanding exists between the
United States and Enand in regard to
Hawaii., Germany might, however, try to
have a preponderating influence thereon.
.She is now engaged in a colonial
policy and is trying to extend her power
elsewhere. We can never afford to
see any other country obtain overshadow
ing influence in Hawaiian affairs, and if
necessary to prevent it we should go to
war." v

Col ma.
CoLcsa, Cal., Jnly 11. Tbe military
guard at the jail was removed shortly be
fore midnight, the excitement having ap
parently died out. Shortly before 1
o'clock an armed band of 150 appeared at
uie Jan, seized the sheriff ana began to
search for Hong Di, who was found se
creted under the sheriff's bed. He was
taken out and marched through China
town, where not a light appeared, to the
railroad grounds, where a halt was made.
V eaver was in the crowd which follow
ed and came forward with questions. As
this was understood to be Hong's last
speech Weaver asked him if he had not
always treated him with kindness and
done favors for him, and Hong answered,
yes, yes." Did 1 not give you a razor
and many other things?" asked Weaver
in tones of suppressed passion. "Yes,"
said the Chinaman.
Again, as though he were repeating a
esson he had learned by note: "What
did vou shoot me for then?" demanded
Weaver, his voice rinsing out sharply in
the death-like stillnetu of the quiet night.
Weaver paused a moment to give the
Chinaman time to reply, then he arked
sharply: "What did y6a shoot Mrs.
Uillou for? Hon; l)i evidently tried to
speak. His Iij moved, the muscles of
his pallid, drawn face quivered convul
sively, but no sound came.
Again Weaver asked the question, this
time with increased emphasis and in a
manner which demanded an answer.
The wretched coolie stammered a few un
intelligible words and thea gasped out:
I was drunk with whisky." Several
other attempts were made to induce
Hong to teak, hut he wan powerless to
do so. The word was then given and he
swung from a crops bar of the turn table.
He was allowed to hang seven minutes.
when the body wit lowered. Finding
life not entirely extinct he was again sus
pended and left there. The crowd dis
persed quietly.
The lynching was brought on by the
verdict of the jury o murder in the sec
ond degree.

ANOTHER DtCAM PER.
A Narrow tlaac KaJIraod Co a a to r De
parta for the - hpriag-a..
Poetlaxo, July 12. The latest Port
lander to join the financially embarrassed
fugitives is Charles Goold. for many years
a conductor on the Narrow gauge railroad.
He was esteemed in this city as an hon
est, upright man, far above doing any
thing that wvald reflect upon hia envia
ble reputation, r.ven now u eannot of
said that he is a rascal ; he is merely a
victim of unfortunate business ventures,
and didn't have tbe heart to face the
music, as far aa can, at present, be
learned.
Borne time ago, it is stated, he formed
co-partnership with A. E. Potter to con
duct the Occidental restaurant, and while
in that business he is said to have ex
hausted bis means, as tbe concern did
not pay. I la took no active interest in
the business, continuing as conductor on
the railroad. The avalanche of bills that
came in which the firm were unable to pay
staggered Goold and he "lit out." There
was a report to the effect that his decamp
ing was prompted by domestic difficul
ties, but that is not true. Before leaving
he wrote his wife a letter stating that he
was financially embarrassed and could
not bear tbe consequent trouble. He
contemplated going to California, and as
soon as he was settled there he would
send for her. He had to take the step
he did for his individual peace of mind.
Goold said he regretted it, but there was
no alternative for him.

The London standard says the Coven

tlie battle is not over, and that incessant

position they have won. "We shall be
surprised, however," says the Standard,
"if Gladstone's speech on Saturday to

shade to his expressions of sympathy
witb the intrigues of American Fenians
that are subsidizing treaaon in tbe heart

"The result of elevating Henry William
